I can't recall anyone as coldhearted as him ever being in the White House - partisans, criminals, yes. But Cheney is all that, plus a bit of Dracula and Simon Legree. Has Gerson ever spoken of trying to persuade anyone in the Oval Office to think again or is it forbidden to even question Bush?Cheney?
